Where did you come up with your VERY strange conclusions? I don't know anybody who's freaking over pigs and certainly don't know anyone who wants to euthanize old people. Being an old person myself, I would certainly take notice of that.

Search for the threads about baby boomers and read the comments. You will see where my idea for this thread came from.

People are spewing pure hatred about the boomers.

Animal cruelty is wrong. What has happened to the pigs is wrong. I don't condone the SKs actions. I feel terrible about what happened. All I am saying is our society puts the welfare of animals above the welfare of other human beings and I find that strange and disturbing.

I just wanted to find out if others were seeing this, too and what they thought about it.

But you are meshing two distinctly different realms into one rant.

Had the pigs been euthanized, this would have never made then news, as it would have been proper to do so.

You are comparing being euthenized to being buried alive.

The two are simply not comparable.

I see the point you are making. Perhaps I should have worded my title differently. But, you have to admit many of the responses I have received DO place animal rights over those of humans. This is more of the line of thinking I was interested in, not just what happened with the pigs.

I wanted to see how many thought pigs were more worthy of our defense than people. I guess I should have worded it this way, rather than use "euthanasia".
